Other topics include simpler health care applications, lower drug prices, increased housing availability (both buying and renting), impose reviews of state programs on a regular schedule, and create more efficient online services for small businesses and the permit applications.

Amy says: “Fixing the government is the foundation for everything else. And there’s more to come. Together, we can get it done.”

Run for Something

Young Progressives are signing up in record numbers with Run For Something, which launched in 2017. They recruit and assist people who are under 40, who are generally left-of-center Democrats and who align with the group’s stated values. Those values include things like supporting reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, climate protections and ending gun violence.

Some of its alums have made their way into Congress, like Reps. Jasmine Crockett (Texas) and Sarah McBride (Del.). Some are running for Senate in 2026, like Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Iowa state Sen. Zach Walls. More than 20 Democrats under the age of 40 are currently running for Congress, and nearly half are Run for Something alumni.
